Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]

Ever present was the feeling,
He was missing out on life,
When the girl he met got pregnant,
And he took her as his wife.
Many plans were in his future,
Many things that he would do,
Now he has a wife and baby,
And he feels his life is through.
Though he tried to be courageous,
Though he tried to be a man,
He [...]

I want to fly high,
in the sky.
So I spread my wings,
with my eyes blink.
I dream of the Utopia.
with certain hysteria.
I took off high,
& leave all behind.
Suddenly things went wrong,
& among the throng.
I fell & hit the ground,
& people gather around.
I cried so loud ,
But my budy consoles me out.
He encourages me to fly again,
to learn [...]

O young Lochinvar is come out of the west,
Through all the wide Country this guy they detest,
And save armpit noises he talent had none,
He thought they were funny and thought they were fun,
He thought that his ‘talent’ would make him a star,
But no one did care for the young Lochinvar.
He left California and charged straight [...]

Dog chases cat, and the cat chases mouse,
All through the yard and all through the house,
Each has their calling and each has their place,
Whether it’s running or giving the chase.
We are no different in all that we do,
We have a purpose, though some never knew,
We have a calling and we have a place,
Whether it’s running [...]

What do you do,
when “All the world’s a stage”,
but you are stuck in the bleachers?
What do you do,
when neither winning nor losing really matters,
“It’s how you play the game”,
but nobody invited you to play?
What do you do,
when “Every cloud has a silver lining”,
but you are dying in a heat-wave,
and there’s not a cloud in the [...]

If Once in a lifetime
Love comes your way
Grab it and hold it
Don’t let it get away.
Cherish it and nurture it
Encourage it to grow
Gather it’s seeds
And keep them to sow.
Scatter them wisely
Give some to friends,
Show them
True love
Never ends.
